>Quackle: AINOSUY 7C YOU +23 23
#note Which YOU would you do? I felt the other YOU closed the top left quadrant, but Quackle says 9C you wins 3% more
>Player_1: BDEK E4 DEB..K +26 90
>Quackle: ACEINSU D1 UNCI +20 43
#note It shows that I was nervous. Missing two high-prob bingoes LUNACIES and EUCAINES despite looking for at least a few minutes, and then chickening out on UNCIA, thinking I may be confusing UNICA and UMNIA. I laid down UNCIA then took off the A and didn't want to waste anymore time on this play. Probably my worst play of the tournament.
>Player_1: CEHLNPT H6 PL.NCHET +66 156
#note Had I played LUNACIES, this would play for 110.
>Quackle: AEMOORS 13H .EAROOMS +72 115
>Player_1: IOWZ 12D ZOWI. +34 190
>Quackle: AEEGGIO 1A GIG.E +21 136
#note Debated between this and HOAGIE. But EG is just terrible without an N and it closes the bingo lines. I chose this to get rid of both Gs and score, but AGGIES is the best play. AGGIES wins 17%, compared to 12% for this.
>Player_1: MRW L12 W.RM +24 214
>Quackle: AAEINOR 15K A.INO +21 157
>Player_1: DIOTT O8 DITTO. +24 238
>Quackle: ?AEERUX 13D AXE +35 192
#note Didn't know EXERGUAL
>Player_1: EJO N6 JOE +29 267
>Quackle: ?AEIQRU I3 QUAI +27 219
#note Did I really miss PIQUE? I was just upset that N2 bingoes were blocked and that no other bingo plays here.
>Player_1: DOS 14D SOD +41 308
>Quackle: ?EIIRST A1 .IRlIEST +74 293
#note I didn't even look through the C. STICKIER, ERISTICS, VERISTIC, MERISTIC and ERISTIC all score more than this. The best play, however, was PLANCHET(TE)
>Player_1: AGH J4 HAG +28 336
>Quackle: AEELRTU 11H .AUL +14 307
#note If this was my rack, which I think it was, then I missed ULCERATE and PLANCHETTE. This is a huge mistake, yet I didn't see anything better after a couple of minutes of looking.
>Player_1: AV 10F VA. +16 352
>Quackle: EERSTVY F4 STY +35 342
#note Did I really miss this for 10 more at 14H?
>Player_1: F B1 .F +20 372
>Quackle: EEEPRTV M7 PREE +21 363
#note At this point, I was trying to decide whether PLANCHETER or PLANCHETED was good (neither one is) that I forget about the plausibility of PLANCHETTE. Otherwise PESTY is the suggested play, winning 42% whereas this only wins 30%. But time trouble and nerves really got me this game.
>Player_1: DEEINRT 9B DRE. +20 392
#note He also has PLANCHETTE, but this wins 100%
>Quackle: BEFLV N10 FE +29 392
#note The BF draw was crushing. Playing FE for 13 fewer at 14I is 20 better because of what it blocks.
>Player_1: EINT 10A TEN +17 409
>Quackle: BLV 4C V... +8 400
#note Laid down BUHL then doubted it and changed it to this. The game is lost anyway.
>Player_1: I 8L I... +6 415
#note Congratulations to Seth on winning Lake George 2018! I'm sure very few people know PLANCHETTE, but I really shouldn't have missed EUCAINES, LUNACIES, ULCERATE, and the better spot for STY. I'm sure nerves played a part, otherwise there's no way I would've been in first place after 14 games given the field and how I played this game.
